Instructions

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper; sear until browned on all sides (3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
Add onions, carrots, and garlic to the pot; sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
Deglaze with red wine; simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Return short ribs to the pot along with beef broth and herbs. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover; simmer for 2-3 hours until fork-tender.
Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until tender (15-20 minutes). Drain and return to pot.
Mash potatoes with butter and warm milk; fold in grated Parmesan until smooth.
Serve short rib ragu over Parmesan mashed potatoes.
